Frankie always felt like an outsider, but she finds belonging in the grand, decaying halls of the Oakhaven Heritage Hotel-her family's gothic, moss-covered inheritance. It is there, by a dusty library globe, that she meets Elijah, a devastatingly handsome young man with striking blue-green eyes and a voice that feels like cold comfort.
Their connection is instant, intense, and impossible: Elijah is a ghost, tragically trapped in the hotel's walls for three years after a maintenance accident in the hidden sub-level tunnels. He is tethered by the secret of his death and slowly being consumed by the "cold"-the oblivion of lost memory.
Now, Frankie is determined to save the man she loves by finding his lost remains in the collapsing, watery labyrinth below.
But the closer they get to the truth, the more Elijah flickers, fighting the paralyzing fear of his final moments. To stay solid enough to guide her, he needs an intense source of living energy-the vibrant, effortless warmth of Frankie's own beautiful sister, Megan.
Forced to swallow her fierce, heartbreaking jealousy, Frankie must confess her forbidden love and enlist her skeptical sister's help. It becomes a desperate race against time and fading light, where Frankie must risk her life and her heart to descend into the darkness, confront a deadly secret, and purchase a final, impossible act of love for the ghost who only wanted to hold on to the night.
